In this episode, we explore three urgent stories shaping education today: a new Gallup poll reveals record-low public confidence in K–12 schools, even as most parents remain satisfied with their own child’s education; a Florida mother demands accountability after a teacher sang a racially offensive version of “Happy Birthday” to her 6-year-old son; and a K–12 Dive report shows teacher turnover—especially mid-year—leads to increased student suspensions and disproportionately harms Black students. Join us as we unpack what these stories tell us about trust, equity, and stability in America’s schools.
